Guest WDP Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Sad to say but Id have no respect for Pedro if he took over full time. No doubt the great unwashed will be shouting about Geordie Saviours and all that shite. Ye can't say that Peter fuckin hell. If someone offered you the chance to be a pornstar would you say nar, cos that's the analogy Pedro would be faced with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 For me it's just an excuse to sell players because they are clearly going to be wanting out. Lucky we've just signed long term contracts with several players. Only Campbell, Taylor and Ben Arfa's contracts are up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 At the end of October - when we were 11th: "Chris is our manager and will remain our manager, and it is our intention to re-negotiate his contract at the end of the year" http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ted/9133843.stm Today when we're 11th: "Newcastle United Football Club have today parted company with manager Chris Hughton. The board feels that an individual with more managerial experience is needed to take the club forward." http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20101206/un...2281670_2237950 If they aren't going to blame results, or the league position, or dressing room trouble then what changed you bellends?

Christmas Tree 4672 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hughton sacking shames Newcastle Chris Hughton has brought dignity, stability and a respectable Premier League placing to Newcastle United - so it should be no surprise that his reward from owner Mike Ashley is the sack. It sums up the twisted, madcap logic of a club that seems only comfortable with chaos and a hierarchy that has a vastly inflated sense of Newcastle's standing in the game. Ashley's unsure touch on football matters has surfaced in the wayward decision-making of the past but, short of pleading with Kevin Keegan to return for a third term of office, few have been as unfathomable as the decision to remove Hughton less than eight months after the 51-year-old former Republic of Ireland took them back to the top tier. Rumours have swirled around Hughton for weeks, the early whispers emphatically silenced by the 5-1 mauling of north-east neighbours Sunderland at the end of October. The delay in offering him a new contract and the failure to appoint a replacement for departed right-hand man Colin Calderwood was an ominous sign for Hughton, however, and his thanks for fine work came with his dismissal on Monday afternoon It is a shameful development after Newcastle issued a statement on 27 October insisting: "Chris is our manager and will remain our manager and it is our intention to re-negotiate his contract at the end of the year." And it has rightly been met with instant and widespread condemnation - most significantly from Newcastle supporters who know their former manager has been badly treated. Ashley has not been pushed into this by growing pressure and unrest from fans. Newcastle's followers have been loyal and grateful to Hughton for restoring respect to their club and for the calm and measured manner in which he guided them back into the Premier League after only one season away. Newcastle players, according to those who should know, were behind Hughton, with both Danny Simpson and Jonas Gutierrez taking to Twitter to register their feelings. Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has been lauded for his work at Bloomfield Road, taking the Seasiders into the Premier League and moving them into mid-table this season. Hughton has done the same, admittedly from a game more, but this is not good enough for Newcastle's owners. Nothing, it seems, ever is. Birmingham counterpart Alex McLeish has been praised for his work at St Andrew's, and yet Newcastle are currently above them in the table. Not good enough for Ashley. Of course, the Magpies have had poor results this season, two of them coming in successive away games at Bolton and West Brom, the latter on Sunday presumably the final straw for Ashley and his fellow powerbrokers. It should also be remembered a creditable draw against Chelsea was sandwiched between these two results. Newcastle are what they are - a newly promoted team - and Hughton was bound to experience bumps along the way. This is the way of things. Results can be mixed and heavy defeats come along occasionally but Ashley does not appear to have factored away wins at Everton and Arsenal into his calculations, or the hammerings handed out to Aston Villa and Sunderland at home. The good news for Hughton is that he departs without a stain on his reputation and character while Ashley will no doubt face further accusations that he is out of touch with football's realities. The farewell statement that accompanied Hughton out of the door at St James' Park was part-praise/part-insult as it read "an individual with more managerial experience is needed to take the club forward." More managerial experience? From the club that asked legendary striker Alan Shearer to perform his first managerial task by trying to save them from relegation at the end of the 2008/09 campaign. Take the club forward? Maybe something has been missed along the way but winning promotion from the Championship and putting Newcastle in mid-table in the Premier League sounds like decent advancement to most observers. And how many managers with more experience - and not many would get experience if they were treated in the same cavalier manner as Hughton - would relish working at Newcastle after this? Hughton was getting his experience at Newcastle, although there was always the lingering suspicion that he was not quite high profile enough for those running the club. If you wanted headline grabbing quotes or flamboyant behaviour, Hughton was not your man. If you wanted basic decency and sound managerial common sense on a shoestring budget, then he was. We should not patronise the former Tottenham defender and sympathise simply because this is unwarranted treatment of one of the game's nice guys. We should sympathise because he has lost a job he was doing perfectly well. Of course, Ashley could have the last word by pulling a big name out of the bag, allowing him to at least attempt to rescue something from the wreckage of Hughton's sacking, but who would that be? Ex-Argentina coach Diego Maradona might care for a crack at it but he may feel Newcastle are just a little too disfunctional a football animal for his delicate tastes. Predictably, Martin O'Neill, the former Leicester, Celtic and Aston Villa manager, was at the top of the betting but would a man who is fanatical about having control over all affairs sit easily alongside Ashley? Unlikely. And then come the usual suspects such as former Charlton and West Ham boss Alan Curbishley and Alan Pardew, who has also managed the Addicks and Hammers. Perfectly good managers but they hardly come with a cast-iron guarantee of improvement on Hughton. There is huge pressure on Ashley and his boardroom cohorts to deliver the right man and ease the mood of unrest his decision to cut off Hughton has created at St James' Parks. And Ashley's track record will not inspire huge confidence. Hughton, meanwhile, can only reflect on what a harsh and illogican profession football management can be, safe in the knowledge that he has more than enough credit in the bank to soon be receiving offers from elsewhere. For Newcastle, it was further proof that if there is a self-destruct button to hand, they simply cannot resist the temptation to press it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/philmcnulty/201...es_newcast.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye am between numb and uncontrollably laughing at what an absolute joke club I've invested large amounts of my love, tears, time and effort over since I was 6 years of age. Sick joke of a club.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 He'll end up at another club, do a decent job, and make us feel jealous of them. I felt like he was 'our' man, I really felt there was a mutual respect between him, the players and the fans. That respect wasn't there for Kinnear, Souness, Allardyce and even Shearer. Now we'll get a new man in, whoever he is, and he'll be expected (by the board) to do better than Hughton has. I'm not entirely sure what he could bring to the table that Hughton apparently couldn't. Either way it'll take a few games for things to settle and we've really not got the time for a new manager to come in and get assimilated. We'll lose games because of the instability and that could cost us far more harshly than retaining Hughton would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4358 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 The key word in the statement is "needed" - needed for what? - to stop up - most people think we would have done that. To finish top half? - a lot of people thought that was feasible given a bit of luck. To push for Europe with the fat cunt's transfer funding? taking the piss. If it's about medium/long term progression then having a bright. youngish manager gaining experience much like Moyes when he came to Everton and Coyle now obviously makes too much sense as well. If they do appoint Pardew I hope they get absolutely slaughtered - and I'd be happy to see him booed on arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the FUCK else?! Absolutely spot on, summarises everything I've said today as well. The next time Hughton comes back here with a team, I hope he gets a Keegan like reception, in many ways what Hughton did is one of the best things anyone has ever done for this club from his starting point. Robson came in, a toon fan, with a cv bettered by a handful worldwide, he was loved when he got here. Keegan could've taken us in to the Conference and people would still be getting tattoo's of him on their arms. As a player arguably the most popular we've ever had, an international figurehead who championed the name Newcastle United and gave us the pride that had been missing for 40 years. Hughton got the job, and there was a collective "OH FFS" a boring southerner with no experience who'll be clueless have us playing shit football who'll be the clubs puppet. Well he didn't just change all of our minds, he made us love him too for his cool dignity and the sanity he brought to an absolute shambles of a football club. Chris I know you won't read this, but if you do, I speak for everyone I know in saying you couldn't be any higher in my estimation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
